Kerala Govt stops outsourcing question papers

8:39 PM Posted by Unknown No comments
              Amid controversies over question papers set by pro-Left academic councils of teachers' unions for mid-term exams of higher secondary classes, Kerala government today decided to end the practice of outsourcing.


       The Directorate of Higher Secondary itself would prepare question papers for such examinations, Education Minister M A Baby said here, referring to charges that the question papers contained "politically biased" questions.

                Recently, the English paper for plus-two carried a question asking students to write a critical letter to the editor of a Malayalam daily on "undue" coverage given by media to the death of Congress leader Mercy Ravi, wife of Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi.

                In another case, pro-left Kerala State Teachers Association (KSTA) had withdrawn a political science question paper which contained questions allegedly loaded against Congress.
